Instant makeup removal, everyone was terrified.

Zhou Ninghuan, in a daze, saw a question mark flash above his head. Reject whom? He was exhausted from a long day and originally intended to seduce Yu Siyan, but now he didn't have the energy and fell asleep within seconds, entering dreamland directly. Next door, Ye Sisi came out of the bathroom holding skincare products, cautiously walking along the wall, not daring to make eye contact with Qiao Xi. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Sisi, can we borrow something?" Ou Lan's voice came through.

Ye Sisi quickly went to open the door. When the door opened, she saw four or five women outside, their scrutinizing gazes drilling into the room.

"What's the matter?" Ye Sisi asked.

Ou Lan smiled and said, "We don't have a bathroom where we live, so we wanted to borrow yours for a shower. We already asked Uncle Li, and he agreed." As she spoke, she glanced at the sofa—Qiao Xi was still wearing her beloved straw hat, sprawled on the sofa, prompting a barrage of question marks on the camera.

[Is that thing on the sofa a person??]

[Not sure, let's take another look.]

Xiao 6 urged, "Master, the camera is filming you! How about taking off that hat?"

"No, it's meaningful. This green hat represents my greatest need right now," Qiao Xi replied with her legs crossed.

Xiao 6: ?

It almost forgot that the system had gifted the host a marriage certificate to connect her with the mission target. In Yu Siyan's memory, Qiao Xi was a tool for a political marriage. But even as a tool, her name still appeared on a marriage certificate.

At the door, Ye Sisi hesitated and glanced at Qiao Xi, "Sister Xi, they want to take a shower…"

"Why are you asking her?" said Fan Zhiying, a singer known for her straightforwardness. "We're borrowing from you, not her."

The few women were practically dying of jealousy when they saw this house. Why should they live in the director's provided huts while Qiao Xi enjoyed this place alone?!

As they spoke, Qiao Xi slowly sat up from the sofa. She remembered that Ou Lan had previously fought with her over a role in a drama, and Fan Zhiying sang the theme song for that drama. As Ou Lan's good friend, Fan Zhiying was always there to back her up. 

Looking further, every face had storyline prompts related to the original host hovering above their heads—

[Zhang Shu: Snatched Qiao Xi's resources for "Dragon Phoenix Dance"]

[Li Siyao: Spread defamatory announcements about Qiao Xi]

In short, they were all enemies. Late at night, were they here to deliver themselves as gifts?

Ye Sisi was startled, "Don't say that! Apologize to her! Hurry, there's still time!"

[Look at our Sisi, so scared, hahaha.]

[How can you laugh?! Sisi is so scared, could she have been bullied when alone in the room earlier?!]

[This is terrifying.]

[Stop spreading baseless rumors! Qiao Xi has been taking care of Sisi all day. As a fan, I don't see any problem. Sisi is just timid, please understand and don't attack her colleagues.]

"Apologize for what?" Fan Zhiying's face darkened. "The owner already agreed!"

"Exactly!" Qiao Xi's voice came from inside. She walked over and opened the door wide, "Guests are always welcome. Sisi, how should you treat guests? Please, come in!"

Ye Sisi: ?

Fan Zhiying snorted, her expression slightly easing. 

Smart move!

Despite Ye Sisi's frantic head shaking, Fan Zhiying led the group inside.

"Where's the shower gel?" Fan Zhiying asked as she walked, "And makeup remover, we need those too."

"They're inside." Qiao Xi smiled, "Feel free to use them."

[Rich young lady Qiao Xi is treating them like servants?]

[Don't know why, but Qiao Xi suddenly seems kind-hearted.]

[Yeah, Qiao Xi actually agreed to let them in for a shower and even showed them the way. Maybe she's not that bad.]

Ye Sisi stood there, blushing.

Sister Xi is actually quite nice. She was wrong to think badly of her, assuming she'd get angry. How silly…

"Click."

A sharp sound.

Ye Sisi peeked and saw Qiao Xi frantically turning a key, locking the door.

"Sister Xi, what are you doing?" Ye Sisi asked.

Voices of confusion came from inside.

"Why lock the door?"

"Qiao Xi, open the door!"

Ou Lan rolled her eyes and said coyly, "Is she planning to lock us in until tomorrow?"

"She wouldn't dare!" Fan Zhiying was the first to speak, "I think she's gone mad! She... ah!"

Screams and splashing water erupted simultaneously! Fan Zhiying, drenched, looked up in disbelief.

The skylight had been opened without anyone noticing!

Qiao Xi's head popped out from above, her face covered in dirt from the day's work, making her teeth appear even whiter.

"Love taking showers, do you?" Qiao Xi slowly raised a black object, "How about I give you a bath too? Ready? Here comes Dumbo!"

The high-pressure water gun sprang to life! Water blasted in, and screams filled the bathroom!

Fan Zhiying jumped left and right, while Qiao Xi laughed heartily.

"First rinse! Wash off the wigs!" she shouted.

Splash! The water aimed directly at their heads, wigs flying around the room!

"Second rinse! Wash off the hairline powder!"

"Third rinse! Wash off the false eyelashes!"

Instant makeup removal, chaos everywhere.

[WTF! I feel guilty for feeling sorry for Qiao Xi earlier.]

[Crazy person, how dare you do this to our Ou Lan!]

[My Ning Ning is still in there! Wuwuwu!]

[Is this really a scene that could appear in a variety show…]

[I can't believe I felt sorry for Qiao Xi earlier. I deserve to die!]

When the director team got the news, they couldn't believe it, "She's causing trouble again?!"

Director Jin immediately called for security to catch her!

But just as the security guards climbed up, Qiao Xi threw down the water gun and bolted!

Using all fours, she scrambled over the roof.

Everyone: O_O

[I never thought I'd live to see Spider-Man in real life.]

[Even geckos would want to commit suicide watching this.]

[Day one of the show: Qiao Xi, you're not human! Day two of the show: Qiao Xi, you really aren't human, are you?]

"Get her down!" Director Jin's shout continued.

Next door, Yu Siyan was taking a shower in the bathroom. The house wasn't soundproof, so he could hear everything—people crying, shouting, threatening lawsuits, and trying to catch Qiao Xi.

"There she is! Grab her!" the security's gruff voice came from the roof.

Yu Siyan paused, suddenly hearing a "squeak," followed by a rush of cool air!

A figure suddenly jumped down from the skylight!

Yu Siyan: !!!

As he opened his mouth, the figure lunged forward, covering his mouth and pinning him against the wall.

"Shh!" 

Qiao Xi's face was serious, her dark eyes vigilant, staring upward.
